The present invention relates to immune stimulating micelle compositions, and their use in treatment of diseases and disorders, such as cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to micelle compositions comprising a TLR7 agonist, such as 1V270.

Immune stimulating micelle composition

The present invention relates to a composition comprising non-water soluble carbohydrates, wherein at least 50% of the non-water soluble carbohydrates are carbohydrates selected from derivatives of lactose, maltose, trehalose, raffinose, glucosamine, galactosamine, lactosamine, or derivatives of disaccharides with at least two pyranose saccharide units, trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, or mixtures thereof, and wherein the composition is a liquid before administration into the human or animal body and increases in viscosity by more than 1,000 centipoise (cP) after administration, for use as a medicament.

Gel formulations for local drug release

The present disclosure features, at least in part, methods for conserving cell function, e.g., immune cell function, e.g., after one or more cycles of freezing and/or thawing the nucleated cell. In embodiments, the methods comprise contacting an immune cell with a protein nanoparticle comprising an IL-15 complex.

Methods and compositions for promoting immune cell function

Immunostimulatory fusion molecules that include an immune cell targeting moiety and a cytokine molecule, pharmaceutical and formulations thereof, and methods of using and making the same, are disclosed.

T cells surface-loaded with immunostimulatory fusion molecules and uses thereof

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy (RT) is a powerful treatment where precision and accuracy is crucial. Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) facilitates more accurate position verification, correcting for anatomic changes related to internal organ movement. IGRT thereby helps reduce toxicity of radiotherapy and increases relapse-free survival. An inter-correlation point with a fixed position and volume (a marker) can be applied to indicate the point of treatment clearly in both imaging modalities and to localize and track tumors in real time. In this study, we present the development of a marker based on lactose octaacetate:octapropionate 1:1 containing 3 mM PLA-DTPA(Gd), 40% triglyceride, 5% propylene carbonate and 10% XSAIB (sucrose based CT-contrast agent). The injectable marker had high CT contrast (&#x3e;1000 HU) and displayed clearly visible, stable Tcontrast enhancement (T&#x2dc;900 ms) in the rim over at least 3 weeks with clinically observable resolution.

Development of injectable fiducial markers for image guided radiotherapy with dual MRI and CT visibility

The present invention relates to a palpable marker composition comprising non-water soluble carbohydrates, wherein at least 50% of the non-water soluble carbohydrates are carbohydrates selected from derivatives of lactose, maltose, trehalose, raffinose, glucosamine, galactosamine, lactosamine, or derivatives of disaccharides with at least two pyranose saccharide units, trisaccharides, tetrasaccharides, or mixtures thereof, and wherein the composition is a liquid before administration into the human or animal body and increases in viscosity by more than 50,000 centipoise (cP) after administration, for use for identifying and/or locating a non palpable tumor. In one embodiment the composition the composition is a liquid before administration into the human or animal body that increases in viscosity by more than 500,000 centipoise (cP) after administration into the human or animal body. In another embodiment the composition is a liquid before administration and has the ability to transform into a crystalline or amorphous solid after administration.

Palpable marker composition

The present invention describes an X-ray contrast composition for local administration, wherein the X-ray contrast composition exhibits contrast properties and wherein at least 60% of an administrated amount of said X-ray contrast composition remains more than 24 hours within 10 cm from an injection point when the X-ray contrast composition is administrated to a human or animal body.

Gel formulations for guiding radiotherapy

The present invention relates to novel formulations comprising a plurality of nano-sized solid particles and a gel-forming system, useful, e.g. for imaging of the body of a mammal. Also described are kits comprising such formulations and imaging methods utilizing such formulations or kits.

Formulation of solid nano-sized particles in a gel-forming system

The present invention is directed to the technical field of imaging compositions useful for diagnosing cancer and other diseases in a subject. In particular, the invention relates to a class of diagnostic compounds comprising a novel liposome composition with encapsulated metal entities such as radionuclides, for exampleCu andCu copper isotopes. The invention further relates to a novel method for loading delivery systems, such as liposome compositions, with metal entities such as radionuclides, and the use of liposomes for targeted diagnosis and treatment of a target site, such as cancerous tissue and, in general, pathological conditions associated with leaky blood vessels. The present invention provides a new diagnostic tool for the utilization of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging technique.

Entrapment of radionuclides in nanoparticle compositions

The present application discloses a nanoparticle comprising compounds of the formula A-B-C(-D), wherein A designates an anchoring moiety having self-organizing properties in relation to the nanoparticle; B designates a cleavable linker; C designates an anionic moiety having a net charge of at least &#x2212;2 at pH 6.0; and D, which is optional, designates a polymer moiety which induces long circulating properties of the nanoparticle in mammalian tissue; and wherein the average net charge of the compounds is at least &#x2212;1 at pH 6.0. The application also discloses the individual compounds of the formula A-B-C(-D) as well as a drug delivery system comprising the self-organized nanoparticle having included in the interior thereof one or more pharmaceutically active agents and/or diagnostically relevant species, and a method of treating a cancerous or inflammatory condition in a mammal, involving the administration of the drug delivery system to the mammal.

Charge triggering of self-organized nanoparticles

The present invention relates to a novel composition and method for loading delivery systems such as liposome compositions with radionuclides useful in targeted diagnostic and/or therapy of target site, such as cancerous tissue and, in general, pathological conditions associated with leaky blood vessels. The composition and methods of the invention find particular use in diagnosing and imaging cancerous tissue and, in general, pathological conditions associated with leaky blood vessels in a subject. The present invention provides a new diagnostic tool for the utilization of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging technique. One specific aspect of the invention is directed to a method of producing nanoparticles with desired targeting properties for diagnostic and/or radio-therapeutic applications.
